If you are on twitter, Tarah & I thought it would be a great idea if people would change their profile picture to one that encourages/reminds people to vote for Scotty. Tarah said they did this for AI finale night, I was not on twitter then so I didn't participate. But, I did change my icon to the Clear As Day picture, when it was time for it to be released. So, if you would like a picture for your twitter account, please e-mail me at fosupdates01@gmail.com and I will e-mail them to you. I want to thank my good twitter friend @dusty125 for creating the icons for us.

Also, If you are interested in being in the fansofscotty voting video that will be posted on Monday, please send your pictures, short clips to me by tomorrow at noon. You can click on the tab at the top of the page to see the explanation of what I'm looking for. Thanks again for everything you guys do to make this a great fan site for Scotty's fans to visit.
